And on 17th September I’ll be at The Phoenix Artist’s Club and Foyles Charing Cross Road for Gollanczfest 2016, workshopping in the morning with folk like Christopher Priest, Ben Anaarovitch and Ed Cox, and discussing ‘Utopia vs Conflict’ with Ezekiel Boone and Al Robertson in the afternoon. Then there’s a party – though I’ll probably start drinking well before that.
